FORUM RULES

• Only one account per person is permitted.
• Keep all commentary civil and be courteous at all times.  Constructive criticism is welcome but insults directed towards other users or the site admins will not be tolerated.  Coarse / insulting language will not be tolerated.
• When registering, a valid EMail address has to be used.  Disposable EMail addresses are not permitted.  If found, we will remove the account in question.
• Keep all posts on topic.
• Do not pretend to be  / represent somebody else.  Your account will be deleted if in breach of this rule.
• Do not discuss illegal activities.
• Post your comment / question to the most appropriate place.  Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved.  Do not cross post the same question to multiple places.
• Make sure you have read the parent article / post completely before posting a reply.
• Use your own words.  If you wish to use the words of somebody else, quote them, citing the source.  Plagiarism is unethical and illegal in many countries.
• Choose an appropriate subject line.  Try to summarise the problem briefly in the subject and elaborate in the message itself.  Repeat the subject in the body if it will make things clearer.  Do not use all caps and do not add false information just to get attention (e.g. ;read this or you will be arrested;).  An example of a bad subject would be "HELP ME".  A good subject might be "Foo crashes when I do a bar".  Do not use a URL as a thread title.
• Include as much information as you can when seeking help.  Alternatively, provide all details when creating announcements.
• No useless posts.  This includes: Thread bumping, Trolling and Spamming.
• Thank those that help you.  Acknowledgment of a helpful suggestion not only placates those who helped you, it may also help others with a similar problem.  All those who have been helped on the forum are invited to help other users by responding to their questions when they know the answer and / or to consider donating to the project.
• Do not link to any site that contains adult content, sexually orientated material or might otherwise be considered offensive.  Any post containing an inappropriate link will be deleted and the poster will receive a warning.
• Do not propose / link to any site that contains warez / copyrighted software / materials that can be downloaded illegaly.
